When I Look Up, I Fall Down

Robyn Voshardt, Sven Humphrey

In our video When I Look Up, I Fall Down, the action of transplanting footage gathered on location from an Oregon old-growth forest to a commercial
shipping container in the midst of Manhattan reinforces the mental disconnect
between nature and its conversion to consumables.

The lush tree canopy no longer offers a sense of shelter. Experienced in such
a confined, temporal space, the disorienting spin and audio amplifies the
larger ecological as well as personal conundrum more acutely than a white-box
gallery context.

DiVA Streets is presented in conjunction with the DiVA NY07 Fair, and consists
of ten shipping containers with video projections placed around the streets
of Chelsea. The project is open to the public for the week prior to the Armory
Show and other art fairs, when the international art world descends upon New
York. We wanted to present an alternative image for visual consumption, one
that would possibly leave a lingering afterimage with the viewer.
